Hello everyone! Did you know the Public Playtest for RESTLESS RITES is still going on? And it just received a content update! So feel free to check it out before it ends on January!
This update contains a feature that will be heavily expanded in the full game: The Notice Board. There you will find documents which give you hints about both the game and it's underlying story! Expect it to have lots of interesting notes in the future!
"But how will I be able to read things when I'm running against time?"
Well I'm glad you asked, because: You now have indefinite time to read the notice board and even check on your tasks for the day!
So take your time.... provided you remain seated inside the chapel.
Opening its doors will start the day, so you'll be on the clock!
To end this content update, you might notice some changes on the entity events on the first two days.
Especially a new and rather loud problem on Day 2.
You can check the changelog below.
Let me know what you think!
